Objective To verify the variation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5 (MAPKKK5) gene expression in patients with cryptogenic refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and to evaluate the possible molecular pathogenesis of intractable TLE. Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western-blot analysis were used to measure the expression alterations of MAPKKK5 mRNA as well as its protein product MAPKKK5 in temporal cortex samples from patients who had undergone temporal lobectomy for intractable epilepsy (n=10). Tissues from 10 subjects who did not have epilepsy served as controls. Results The expression of MAPKKK5 mRNA (1.001?0.321) and its protein MAPKKK5 (0.359?0.299) were significantly increased in epileptic brain compared with the controls (0.648?0.157, 0.137?0.084, respectively) (all P

Objective To study the correlation of expression of N-myc downstream regulated gene 1(NDRG1) with invasion of breast invasive duct carcinoma and lymph node metastasis. Methods A total of 71 specimens including 26 case of primary breast invasive duct carcinoma with lymphnode metastasis,45 case of nonmetastasis breast invasive duct carcinoma were observed.NDRG1 was detected by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections.At the same time,the correlations of NDRG1 with E-cad,MMP2,MMP9,and TIMP2 were investigated. Results The expression of NDRG1 in breast cancer with metastasis of lymph nodes(9/26) was lower than that of non-metastasis of lymph nodes(32/45)(P

OBJECTIVETo establish a general method of focal cerebral ischemia model in different varieties of mice.

METHODEach group of healthy adult KM and C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group (n = 10) and MCAO group (n = 10). The mice in MCAO group were applied in the preparation of the MCAO model by intraluminal occlusion using monofilament. Twenty-four hours after operation,the neurologic function was evaluated,middle cerebral artery blood flow was monitored and the infarction volume was calculated by TTC staining, to evaluate the reliability of the model.

RESULTIn the MCAO group, the base value of the cerebral blood flow down of KM and C57BL/6 mice respectively was (81.65 ± 4.59)%, (83.68 ± 6.25)%. The neurological deficit score respectively was (2.30 ± 0.82), (2.50 ± 0.80). TTC staining can clearly show the infarction area, and relatively stable, 24 hours of the survival rate of KM and C57BL/6 mice were 100% and 80% respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe key link is the optimization and improvement of monofilament, temperature, anesthesia and so on. The modified intraluminal occlusion of MCAO using monofilament is a kind of reliable and simple method to establish experimental cerebral ischemia model in mice.

Objective:To investigate the value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP)in the diagnosis of pancreas divisum by comparing with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).Methods:The MRCP and ERCP images of 8 patients with pancreas divisum were retrospectively analyzed.The diagnostic accuracy and findings by MRCP were compared with those by ERCP.Results:MRCP had a diagnostic accuracy of 87.5%(7/8)based on the result of ERCP.ERCP displayed the dominant dorsal pancreatic ducts in all 8 cases and ventral pancreatic ducts in 6 cases;MRCP also displayed the dominant dorsal pancreatic ducts in all 8 cases,but the ventral pancreatic ducts only in 3 cases.Conclusion:As a non-invasive technique,MRCP has important clinical value in the diagnosis of pancreas divisum.

Objective To investigate the situation of ALT-single-unqualified blood donors and the ALT test when they donated again.Methods There were 3 784 cases of ALT-single-unqualified blood donors from March 2009 to February 2010 enrolled in the study.Investigations were carried out to know the previous situation of blood donation.A 3-year tracking survey on those people was carried out,and the data was recorded and analyzed.Results The ALT-single-unqualified blood donors who participated in blood donation for the first time accounted for 58.14% (2 201/3 748).The 3-year follow-up showed that the returned blood donors accounted for 33.62% (1 272/3 784);1-year return accounted for 46.62%(593/1 272)which was the most;ALT-qualified donors accounted for 65.72%(836/1 272)of the retured donors.with the increase of the times of blood donation,the qualified rate of blood ALT increased.Conclusion More than half of the ALT-single-unqualified blood donors returned.There was a large proportion of returning donors participated in blood donation more than onece,and the qualification rate of ALT increased with the increase of do-nation times.In order to reduce the unqualified rate of ALT test,we should strengthen the propaganda and fixed blood donation team construction.

Objective To understand the schistosomiasis prevention knowledge of middle school students from areas with dif-ferent endemic levels in Hubei Province. Methods The schistosomiasis endemic regions were divided into transmission con-trolled areas and endemic controlled areas in Hubei Province,middle school students from different types of areas were selected through stratified randomized cluster sampling and were investigated by questionnaire. Results A total of 3 204 students were se-lected and investigated. The awareness rate of schistosomiasis prevention and control knowledge among the students ranged from 65.1%-90.3%. Overall,the students from endemic controlled areas had higher knowledge rates of all the items than those from transmission controlled areas(all P<0.05). The middle school students acquired schistosomiasis prevention knowledge mainly from the teachers,parents,doctors and schistosomiasis staff. Conclusion Health education to students should adopt different ways targeting at different endemic levels in the future.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of acupuncture-moxibustion therapy on simple obesity due to spleen deficiency. Method: Sixty-eight cases of simple obesity due to spleen deficiency syndrome, including internal dampness due to spleen deficiency, qi deficiency of lung-spleen, yang deficiency of spleen-kidney, were randomly allocated into two groups, treatment group (36 cases) and control group (32 cases). The former group was treated with warm needling moxibustion method, and the latter was treated with electroacupuncture. The therapeutic effect and body weight (BW) were observed, respectively. Result: There was a significant difference between the two groups in the total effective rate (P<0.05); there was a significant difference between the two groups in the decrease of BW (P<0.01), furthermore, the long-term effect in warm needling moxibusiton group was better than that in the electroacupuncture group. Conclusion: The effect of needle wanning moxibustion therapy on simple obesity due to spleen deficiency is accurate, and it is worth to spread.

Objective To evaluate the application effect of clinical pharmacy services in the secondary prevention ot stroke.Methods Hospitalized stroke patients were selected in Taihe Hospital from June 2013 to August 2014.The patients meeting the inclusion criteria were paired and sequentially numbered,and randomly divided into observation group (n =100) and control group (n =102).The patients were treated routinely during thc hospitalization.The clinical pharmacists conducted the drug education.The control group implemented the telephone follow-up for guiding compliance behavior one month after discharge.The observation group continued to perform clinical pharmacist-leading service projects.The medication compliance (Morisky scale),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),glycated hemoglobin (HbA1 C),serum total cholesterol (TC),low density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) and relapse rate were compared three months,six months and twelve months after the two groups discharged.Results The medication compliance,SBP,DBP,HbA1C,TC,LDL-C and recurrence rate after hospital discharge were no statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05) three months after the two groups discharged,but statistically significant between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01) six months and twelvc months after the two groups discharged.Levels of SBP,DBP,HbA1 C,TC and LDL-C in the two groups were both significantly lower than before (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The relapse rate of the observation group three months,six months and twelve months after they discharged was 2.00％,5.00％ and 15.00％,respectively,and that of the control group was 2.94％,13.72％ and 28.43％,respectively.Conclusion The pharmacy services in the secondary prevention of stroke can improve the patient medication compliance and better control the blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid lcvcls,and reduce the relapse rate.It should be recommended in the clinical practice work.
